Résumé détaillé

An Israeli strike killed six people and wounded around 20 at Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza, a civil defence official said.

An Israeli strike killed six people and wounded around 20 at Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza, a civil defence official said.

Gaza's civil defence, a rescue agency operating under Hamas authority, said the bodies of those killed and "more than" 20 people wounded in the strike had been recovered from a building at the medical complex.

"The death toll from the Israeli strike inside Nasser Medical Complex, west of Khan Younis in southern Gaza, has risen to six," civil defence spokesperson Mahmoud Bassal said.

A spokesperson for Israel's military said they were checking for information on the incident when asked for comment.

Israel and Hamas have accused each other of breaching the ceasefire that came into effect in October 2025, after two years of war triggered by an attack of unprecedented scale carried out by Hamas against Israel on 7 October 2023.

On Tuesday, Israeli forces killed seven people, including a 13-year-old boy, in the Gaza Strip, according to local emergency services, while the Israeli military said it had targeted "military operatives".

More than 1,590 Palestinians have been killed since the start of the ceasefire, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health, which operates under Hamas authority and whose figures are considered reliable by the UN.

During the same period, the Israeli military has reported the loss of seven soldiers, as well as one civilian contractor.
